Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: 422 Interrogation
Li Zhi, who was already nervous, listened to Li Hong’s words and looked at his son who didn’t argue with him, and he started to beat the drums in his heart. The first order I gave was wrong, and it might even lead to the siege of the city, so I could not help but pray in my heart, but don't let the unfilial son say it. Bayi?

And he didn't know that Li Hong originally asked Ge Xiwon to inform Qihe Heli and Li Jinxing to postpone the march time, which was to give Silla and Baekje time to fight outside the city of Goguryeo.
In this way, Li Hong can follow Liu Rengui in the city, and he can cooperate with Heli outside the city, and Li Jinxing can cooperate with each other inside and outside, so as to wipe out the strength of Silla and Baekje soldiers who are close to the city.
The advantage of this is that at least it can guarantee that within ten years, Silla, Baekje, or Goguryeo, whoever wants to unite with another one to annex the other, will be powerless, at most The three companies often have small frictions and small local wars on the border.
In this way, Datang can naturally sit back and relax. When they have gone through ten years of rest and recuperation, or when they see their growth, they can provoke divorce among the three homes and let them continue to fight. You can make another mediation when their strength is about the same.
The best result is that we hope to keep fighting on the Korean peninsula in this way, and there will never be a situation where there will be no big or unified one.
But just like that sentence, I'm not afraid of opponents like gods, but teammates like pigs. Li Hong's good strategy was so easily destroyed by his father Long himself, and it is very likely to be fatal. Blow.
I don’t know. When it’s dawn tomorrow, the mountains and plains outside of Ryukyung City will be allied with Silla and Baekje.
Hua Meng and the Prince’s Guards came in with a few merchants wearing ordinary costumes, and the merchants, while they were escorted in, kept their heads down, but their eyes were always on. Looking around, it didn't look like an ordinary vendor.
Li Hong knows that he has no extra time to waste on these vendors. Looking at the appearance of these people, you know that this is definitely not an ordinary vendor. It is definitely the work of Silla and Baekje sneaking into Liujing. .
The cheetah gestured to the cheetah to put the case in front of the courtier in front of the vendors, and then threw the horizontal knife in his hand to Hua Meng, turned his head and waved to the trembling tongue man next to Gao Zang. Let it come.
Looking at the tongue man hunched over and walked to him to salute, Li Hong stopped the tongue man’s thin shoulders and said lightly: "Tell them, I will only ask a question once, and those who refuse to answer, I will chop If you drop his finger and answer honestly, I will let it go."
The tongue man immediately translated the words of His Royal Highness the Prince of Tang Dynasty to the vendors who were kneeling on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs. At this time, their hands were tied behind their backs by the prince guards. One person puts both hands on the case table.
Da Tang’s courtiers and your majesty, Goguryeo’s Gao Zang, and his other officials, didn’t know how Li Hong would interrogate these people, but when he heard his fingers chopped, Gao Zang couldn’t help but put his fat fingers into his palms. Shrunk, as if Li Hong would chop his finger first.
Zhang Lushui listened to Li Hong’s faint words, or she was in the sixth sense of the so-called woman. In short, she still felt a touch of impatience and murderousness from Li Hong’s mouth, so she couldn’t help but clenched tightly. Without Li Zhi's hand, this move naturally drew Li Zhi's comforting smile.
"Who are you?" Tongue Ren quickly translated Li Hong's first question.
The five vendors looked at each other blankly, and then said in unison: "Xiaomin is a vendor."
"One for each person, chop." Li Hong's voice was very soft, and it didn't even seem to be talking about punishment.
"Ah..."
Several screams appeared in the palace out of thin air. Some timid officials, looking at the fingers falling from the case table, shivered and fainted.
The screams of the five vendors still reverberated in the palace, because the fingers were chopped, and the pain of the ten fingers connected to the heart, they had to shake their bodies violently to relieve the pain, but their arms were killed to death. Ann could not move on the case.
Goguryeo Wang Gaozang, when he heard the first scream, his face suddenly turned pale again, his fat body shook for a while before he was steady, but he said he didn’t dare to look at anything. The five hands that were bleeding.
And Zhang Lushui, next to Li Zhi, snuggled into Li Zhi’s arms for the first time, closed his eyes, covered his ears with his hands, and his heart throbbed, as if he would be nervous and afraid the next moment. Jumped out of his mouth.
Without Li Hong speaking, several soldiers of the Prince's Guard heard their heart-piercing screams, and then looked at His Majesty’s frowning brows, so they took out a piece of cloth from their arms and moved skillfully. He was stuffed into the mouths of five vendors who were still screaming and groaning.
Suddenly, there was only a small whine in the entire palace, and the scalp screams finally disappeared.
Li Hong did not warn them a second time, but still faintly repeated: "Who are you? From left to right, answer one by one."
"Xiaomin is really a vendor." As soon as the rags in his mouth were removed, the vendor shouted with snot and tears.
"Chop." Li Hong's voice was still very soft.
The rag was inserted into his mouth for the first time, and then the other four vendors rushed to the case, shaking, and the vendor's other finger fell on the ground.
"You said." Li Hong stared at the second vendor, still speaking lightly.
When it was the third turn, the vendor was completely defeated by Li Hong’s finger-cutting and interrogation, shouting tears and nose, enduring the hot numbness and deep burning sensation from his fingers, begging for mercy Said: "I said, I said, we are the fine work of Silla and Baekje."
"When did you enter the city?"
"Just arrived yesterday, they just came today." The vendor pointed to the two vendors who had just had **** cut off and said.
"What is your purpose?"
"To investigate Liu Jing's reality, it is best to find out how many soldiers and horses are stationed in Liu Jing in Datang."
"The Tang army went out of the city last night, did you send a message?" Li Hong's eyes narrowed into a gap, but the cold light and killing intent were even more prosperous. It was Gao Zang and Li Zhi, and the green water. Although he faces Li Hong's back, he can still feel the coldness in Li Hong's words.
"Xiaomin did not dare to send it out."
"Chop. Next one." Li Hong said to the executioner Hua Meng coldly.
"Ah...uuuu..." Before the vendor screamed, the rags in the hands of the soldiers behind him were immediately inserted into his mouth.
"Finger and honest answer, you can only choose the same. Last night, when the Tang army went out of the city, you may have sent a message." The fourth vendor had only numbness on the cut off finger at this time, even that one. The little bit of pain disappeared, but the big beads of sweat on his face are enough to show that the pain is about to pass out at this moment.
"Sent out. A total of 50,000 troops from the Datang Army and Goguryeo have left the city. It seems that they are going to the frontier to support Goguryeo's frontier army. Now there are only 20,000 people in the city of Liujing, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, King Wuwei, and the Prince of Tang Dynasty. Three thousand guards." The vendor said happily, enduring the tingling sensation that suddenly came from the wound.
"How many people are there in the Silla and Baekje coalition forces?"
"70,000 people."
"When will I arrive outside Liujing City?"
"... Tomorrow morning." The vendor hesitated for a moment, and saw that Hua Meng raised the horizontal knife in his hand, so he blurted out immediately.
"Are there any of you in the city."
"...Yes."
"How many people?"
"One hundred and forty-seven people."
"What is it for?"
"Cooperate with the coalition forces inside and outside. When the coalition forces attack the city, they will create chaos in the city, making the upper defense undefeable."
"Go down to bandage the wound, find those people immediately, and detain them all." Li Hong breathed a sigh of relief.
After finishing talking, he watched the five vendors being dragged away. Only then did he realize that whether it was a courtier from Datang or a courtier from Goguryeo, his eyes were full The fear, no one even dared to look at him.
No matter who his gaze is on, whether it is Datang or Goguryeo's courtier, that person definitely lowered his head for the first time, and he dared not look at him.
"Father, my son, please leave Liujing immediately and cross the river to Humiliate Yi City." Li Hong turned around and looked at the somewhat absent-minded Dragon Father standing there, and said in a calm tone.
"Don't retreat." Li Zhi slowly raised his head, looking at Li Hong firmly in his eyes.
Li Hong looked at Li Zhi's appearance and rolled his eyes helplessly. At this time, Daddy Long's stubborn temper became stubborn, and he would really find the time.
"Father, it was 70,000 people in detail, but the children estimated that there will definitely not be only 70,000 people outside Liujing City tomorrow~ IndoMTL.com~ 20,000 Jinwu Guards can hold Liujing City. This is There is no doubt about it, but 20,000 people, plus the 3,000 of the children and the people of Liujing, are far from being able to hold the offensive of 170,000 people." Li Hong had to be patient Come, analyze the next battle situation to Li Zhi.
"I can't withdraw, I withdrew, what do you do? Don't you let me leave you the prince down? I can't do it." Li Zhi looked at Li Hong, his rare eyes flashed with Wu Mei occasionally He looked at Li Hong with the same look.
Li Hong sighed again. Although his heart became warm because of the words of his father, but at this moment, it is not the time when the children are in love.
Not to mention that I am not a fool, how could I stay and guard the city for Goguryeo? I'm crazy and would do such a thing!
But I can’t say it now. Otherwise, Goguryeo King Gaozang and other courtiers will definitely retreat with Daddy Long. At that time, there will be many people and troubles. Can they be before the siege of Silla and Baekje? Withdrawal is always a problem.
So, he needs his father to take Jinwuwei withdraw immediately, and stay by himself to stabilize the Goguryeo people of Gaozang, and then find time to retreat. After all, when necessary, when the father leads his army to cross the river , I have to cover the safe crossing of Emperor Father and Jin Wuwei.
